Class 10 Performance is defined only for entirely free AUs 4.4 SPI Mode Card Registers Unlike the SD Memory card protocol (where the register contents is sent as command response),reading the contents of the CSD and CID registers in SPI mode is a simple read-block transaction. The card will respond with a standard response token followed by data block of 16 bytes suffixed with a 16bit CRC. The data timeout for the CSD command cannot be set to the cards TAAC since this value is stored in the card‘s CSD. Therefore, the standard response timeout value(NCR) is used for read latency of the CSD register. 4.5 User Capacity This information table below provides user capacity of Samsung SD/microSD Card.

The host system can choose either one of modes. The card detects which mode is requested by the host when the reset command is received and expects all further communication to be in the same communication mode. Common bus signals for multiple card slots are not recommended. A single SD bus should connect a single SD card. Where the host system supports a high-speed mode, a single SD bus shall be connected to a single SD card. The SD/microSD bus includes the following signals: • • • • CS CS(B) SD Memory Card(B) CMD : Bidirectional Command/Response signal DAT0 - DAT3 : 4 Bidirectional data signals CLK : Host to card clock signal VDD, VSS1, VSS2: Power and ground signals The SD/microSD Card bus has a single master (application), multiple slaves (cards), synchronous start topology (refer to Figure 5-2). Clock, power and ground signals are common to all cards. Command (CMD) and data (DAT0-DAT3) signals are dedicated to each card providing continues point to point connection to all the cards. During initialization process, commands are sent to each card individually, allowing the application to detect the cards and assign logical addresses to the physical slots. Data is always sent (received) to (from) each card individually. However, in order to simplify the handling of the card stack, after initialization process, all commands may be sent concurrently to all cards. Addressing information is provided in the command packet. SD Memory CARD(A) (SPI mode) CLK, DataIN, DataOut SD Memory CARD(B) (SPI mode) SD Memory Card system (SPI mode) Bus Topology The SPI compatible communication mode of the SD/microSD Memory Card is designed to communicate with a SPI channel, commonly found in various microcontrollers in the market. The interface is selected during the first reset command after power up and cannot be changed as long as the part is powered on. The SPI standard defines the physical link only, and not complete data transfer protocol. The SD/microSD Card SPI implementation uses the same command set of the SD mode. From the application point of view, the advantage of the SPI mode is the capability of using an off-the-shelf host, hence reducing the design-in effort to minimum. The disadvantage is the loss of performance, relatively to the SD mode which enables the wide bus option. The SD/microSD Card SPI interface is compatible with SPI hosts available on the market. As any other SPI device the SD/microSD Card SPI channel consists the following four signals: • • • • CS : Host to card Chip Select signal CLK : Host to card clock signal DataIN : Host to card data signal DataOut: Card to host data signal Another SPI common characteristic is byte transfers, which is implemented in the card as well. All data tokens are multiples of bytes (8 bit) and always byte aligned to the CS signal. The card identification and addressing methods are replaced by a hardware Chip Select (CS) signal. There are no broadcast commands. For every command, a card (slave) is selected by asserting (active low) the CS signal . The CS signal must be continuously active for the duration of the SPI transSD Bus allows dynamic configuration of the number of data lines. After action (command, response and data). The only exception occurs during power-up, be default, the SD/microSD Card will use only DAT0 for data card programming, when the host can de-assert the CS signal without transfer. After initialization, the host can change the bus width(number of affecting the programming process. active data lines). This feature allows and easy trade off between hardware cost and system performance. Note that while DAT1-DAT3 are not in use, the related Host’s DAT lines should be in tri-state (input mode). For SDIO cards DAT1 and DAT2 are used for signaling. - 13 - Rev. 1.0 datasheet MMBTFxxGWBCA-xMExx SD Card 5.2 Bus Protocol 5.2.1 SD Bus For more details, refer to Section 3.6.1 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 5.2.2 SPI Bus For more details, refer to Chapter 7 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 5.3 SD/microSD Card Pin Assignment 5.3.1 SD Card Pin Assignment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 wp SD Memory Card Figure 5-1.

See Chapter 6 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for more detail information. 5.5.1 Power Up The power-up of the SD/microSD Card bus is handled locally in each SD Card and in the host Supply voltage VDD max Host supply voltage Valid voltage range for all commands VDD min Power up time Time out value for initialization process = 1Sec End of first ACMD41 to card ready Supply ramp up time Initialization sequence CMD0 CMD8 ACMD NCC 41 ACMD 41 NCC ACMD 41 time NCC CMD2 Optional repetitons of ACMD41 until no cards are responding with busy bit set Initialization delay: The maximum of 1 msec, 74 clock cycles and supply ramp up time Figure 5-11. Power-up Diagram .• Power up time is defined as voltage rising time from 0 volt to VDD(min.) and depends on application parameters such as the maximum number of SD Cards, the bus length and the characteristic of the power supply unit. • Supply ramp up time provides the time that the power is built up to the operating level (the host supply voltage) and the time to wait until the SD card can accept the first command, • The host shall supply power to the card so that the voltage is reached to VDD(min.) within 250ms and start to supply at least 74 SD clocks to the SD card with keeping CMD line to high. In case of SPI mode, CS shall be held to high during 74 clock cycles. • After power up (including hot insertion, i.e. inserting a card when the bus is operating) the SD Card enters the idle state. In case of SD host, CMD0 is not necessary. In case of SPI host, CMD0 shall be the first command to send the card to SPI mode. • CMD8 is newly added in the Physical Layer Specification Version 2.00 to support multiple voltage ranges and used to check whether the card supports supplied voltage. The version 2.00 host shall issue CMD8 and verify voltage before card initialization. The host that does not support CMD8 shall supply high voltage range. • ACMD41 is a synchronization command used to negotiate the operation voltage range and to poll the cards until they are out of their power-up sequence. In case the host system connects multiple cards, the host shall check that all cards satisfy the supplied voltage. Otherwise, the host should select one of the cards and initialize. - 23 - MMBTFxxGWBCA-xMExx Rev. 1.0 datasheet SD Card 5.5.2 Reset Level Power Up Host needs to keep power line level less than 0.5V and more than 1ms before power ramp up.

Followings are recommendation of Power ramp up: (1) Voltage of power ramp up should be monotonic as much as possible. (2) The minimum ramp up time should be 0.1ms. (3) The maximum ramp up time should be 35ms for 2.7~3.6V power supply. 5.5.3 Power Down and Power Cycle • When the host shuts down the power, the card VDD shall be lowered to less than 0.5Volt for a minimum period of 1ms. During power down, DAT, CMD, and CLK should be disconnected or driven to logical 0 by the host to avoid a situation that the operating current is drawn through the signal lines. • If the host needs to change the operating voltage, a power cycle is required. Power cycle means the power is turned off and supplied again. Power cycle is also needed for accessing cards that are already in Inactive State. To create a power cycle the host shall follow the power down description before power up the card (i.e. the card VDD shall be once lowered to less than 0.5Volt for a minimum period of 1ms). - 24 - Rev. 1.0 datasheet MMBTFxxGWBCA-xMExx SD Card 5.5.4 Bus Operating Conditions for 3.3V Signaling SPI Mode bus operating conditions are identical to SD Card mode bus operating conditions. 5.5.4.1 Threshold Level for High Voltage Range [Table 5-4] : Threshold Level for High Voltage Parameter Symbol Min Max.

Host should consider total bus capacitance for each signal as the sum of CHOST, CBUS, and CCARD, these parameters are defined by per signal. The host can determine CHOST and CBUS so that total bus capacitance is less than the card estimated capacitance load (CL=40 pF). The SD Memory Card guarantees its bus timing when total bus capacitance is less than maximum value of CL (40 pF). To limit inrush current caused by host insertion, card maximum capacitance between VDD - VSS is defined as 5uF. To support host hot insertion, the host should consider decoupling capacitor connected to power line. As SD/microSD card Cc is 5uF(Max.), 45uF(min.) is recommended for Decoupling capacitor.

See Chapter 4 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for detail information and guide. 6.2 Card Identification Mode While in Card Identification mode the host resets all the cards that are in card identification mode, validates operation voltage range, identifies cards and asks them to publish Relative Card Address(RCA). This operation is done to each card separately on its own CMD line. Refer to Section 4.2 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for detail information and guide1) NOTE : 1) The products on this specification does not support UHS-1 mode. For correct identification flow, please refer to Section 4.2 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00. 6.3 Clock Control The SD/microSD Memory Card bus clock signal can be used by the host to change the cards to energy saving mode or to control the data flow(to avoid under-run or over-run conditions) on the bus. Refer to Section 4.4 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for detail information and guide 6.4 Cyclic Redundancy Code The CRC is intended for protecting SD Card commands, responses and data transfer against transmission errors on the SD Card bus. One CRC is generated for every command and checked for every response on the CMD line. For data blocks one CRC per transferred block, per data line, is generated. The CRC is generated and checked as described in the Section 4.5 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.0 6.5 Command There are four kinds of commands defined to control the SD Card: * Broadcast commands (bc), no response - The broadcast feature is only if all the CMD lines are connected together in the host. If they are separated then each card will accept it separately on his turn. * Broadcast commands with response (bcr) - response from all cards simultaneously. Since there is no Open Drain mode in SD Card, this type of command is used only if all the CMD lines are separated. The command will be accepted and responded to by every card seperately. * Addressed (point-to-point) commands (ac) - no data transfer on DAT lines * Addressed (point-to-point) data transfer commands (adtc), data transfer on DAT lines All commands and responses are sent over the CMD line of the SD Card bus. The command transmission always starts with the left bit of the bitstring corresponding to the command code word. For more details, refer to the Section 4.7 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.0. NOTE: Limited Vendor CMD information, only for certain customer and application, can be provided under appropriate purpose of usage. - 29 - datasheet MMBTFxxGWBCA-xMExx Rev. 1.0 SD Card 6.6 Memory Array Partitioning The basic unit of data transfer to/from the SD Card is one byte. All data transfer operations which require a block size always define block lengths as integer multiples of bytes. Some special functions need other partition granularity. SD Memory Card WP Group 1 Sector 1 Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Block n Sector 2 Sector 3 Sector m WP Group 2 WP Group K Figure 6-1: Write Protection Hierarchy For block oriented commands, the following definition is used: • Block: is the unit that is related to the block oriented read and write commands. Its size is the number of bytes that will be transferred when one block command is sent by the host. The size of a block is either programmable or fixed. The information about allowed block sizes and the programmability is stored in the CSD. • For devices that have erasable memory cells, special erase commands are defined. The granularity of the erasable units is in general not the same as for the block oriented commands: • Sector: is the unit that is related to the erase commands. Its size is the number of blocks that will be erased in one portion. The size of a sector is fixed for each device. The information about the sector size (in blocks) is stored in the CSD. Note that if the card specifies AU size, sector size should be ignored. • AU (Allocation Unit): is a physical boundary of the card and consists of one or more blocks and its size depends on each card. The maximum AU size is defined for memory capacity. Furthermore AU is the minimal unit in which the card guarantees its performance for devices which complies with Speed Class Specification. The information about the size and the Speed Class are stored in the SD Status. AU is also used to calculate the erase timeout. • WP-Group: is the minimal unit that may have individual write protection for devices which support write-protected group. Its size is the number of groups that will be write-protected by one bit. The size of a WP-group is fixed for each device. The information about the size is stored in the CSD. The High Capacity SD Memory Card does not support the write protect group command. - 30 - MMBTFxxGWBCA-xMExx datasheet 6.7 Timings Refer to Section 4.12 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for detail information and guide1) NOTE : 1) The products on this specification does not support UHS-1 mode. 6.8 Speed Class Specification Refer to Section 4.13 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for detail information and guide1) NOTE : 1)The products on this specification does not support UHS-1 mode. 6.9 Erase Timeout Calculation Refer to Section 4.14 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 3.00 for detail information and guide1) NOTE : 1) The products on this specification does not support UHS-1 mode. - 31 - Rev. 1.0 SD Card
